Real world MPG on 2.0tfsi and 2.0tdi engines?

[stabbed rat]

Does anybody have any of the above engines in their VAG car. (211PS 2.0TFSI or the 170PS TDI) and if so what are your real world MPG figures?

Would be great if some TT and A5 coupe owners would be able to give their figures as these are the 2 cars I am looking at deciding between.


Thanks for any help.

Cheers, I think the golf is the slightly older engine (new one came out 2009/2010 I think)

What speed do you usually cruise at on the motorway?

Thanks everyone so far

Sorry mate not sure I buy 73mpg fill to fill

I'm not so sure, a diesel one at 65mph on a motorway could possibly manage it.

Interesting discussion.... I have just ordered a Seat Leon FR and went for the petrol rather than the diesel.

Assuming 35 vs 45mpg real world averages and 10K miles per annum for the two engines you only save £300 a year with the diesel. Which on its own would make me get the petrol as it is faster, more 'pistonheads' sytlie engine (revs above 4000rpm) and doesn't smell nasty.

The fact that the petrol cars can be bought for £1500 less than the diesel clinches the deal!

Nasty oily smelly slow noisey yucky derv powered lump with 5 years ROI or lovely smooth revy petrol!

I did those exact calculations, I started the thread to make sure I was looking at the right figures. By my calculations the petrol is the better choice financially too. Even if I up the mileage a little more.
